This Slow Cooker Potato Soup is quick to throw together, and then it makes itself!
I usually associate soups with fall, but the weather this year has been so strange that I think I’m off a bit. I know that half the country has been plummeted with snow. Here in Idaho, we normally get a lot of snow, but our winter has been so mild! And now the air has the same crisp feeling that is usually fall, so it felt like a soup day last week.
Potato soup is one of my husband’s favorites. But we’ve been working on houses, packing, and basically I just haven’t had time to make great meals lately. So I decided to make slow cooker potato, so it could make itself while I was painting. I looked at quite a few recipes, but the recipe closest to what I did is from Teaspoon of Goodness.
- 4 cups Chicken Broth (2 cans)
- 1/2 Onion, diced
- 4 cups Potato, chopped
- 1 tsp Seasoned Salt
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3-4 Carrots, sliced
- 8 oz Cream Cheese
- Cooked and crumbled Bacon
- shredded cheese, and any other toppings you would like
- Put all ingredients EXCEPT cream cheese and toppings into a slow cooker. Cook on low for 8 hours (or on high for 4-5).
- Use an emulsion blender to puree some of the potatoes (I just used a potato masher).
- Add the cream cheese, and cook on low for about 20-30 minutes.
- Stir well.
- Serve with choice of toppings.

Looks yummy! Good luck on the move.
Thanks Brandy! We are about 3/4 done, and I’m exhausted! We have way too much stuff!
I’m totally the same way right now. Every evening when cooking up dinner I can’t seem to get soup off my mind. This looks amazing and so simple! Thanks for sharing!

This looks delicious! I would top it with a dollop of sour cream, some shredded cheese, and crumbled bacon. I love making soup in the slow cooker, pinning to try.
Yum- the next time I make it I will definitely have more toppings. But even without, it was so good!
Potato soup is close to my heart because my mom made it for me. Always makes me feel good to see this old favorite!
It’s so interesting how food can bring so many memories with it, Stephanie!
